Pop Culture's Best Couples: 26 True (Fictional) Lovers

RICK BLAINE AND ILSA LUND
Casablanca
Part of what makes war-torn lovers Rick and Ilsa so legendary is that they don't get the happy ending. They'll always have Paris, sure, but they don't have a future, what with her looking to skate out of Morocco with her new boyfriend and him staying behind because revolution just isn't his bag. Slinging drinks is. It also helps that they were played by Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman at their most movie-star incandescent. —Marc Bernardin
